Arsenal travel to Everton for this Saturday’s late kickoff, with an exciting early-season clash in store here between two sides competing for a top four place.

The Gunners kicked off their season with a hard-fought win at home to Crystal Palace, while the Toffees were held by newly-promoted Leicester City in a thrilling 2-2 draw, though they will be confident of upsetting their visitors this weekend.

Arsenal were well beaten on their last trip to Everton at the end of last season, finding themselves on the wrong end of a 3-0 battering by Roberto Martinez’s men, though in the end it was Arsene Wenger’s side that came out on top in terms of winning a Champions League place.

Still, new signings such as Alexis Sanchez, Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers have started in fine form for the north London giants this season, and will likely see an improved display on Merseyside this time around.

The likes of Mikel Arteta and Kieran Gibbs will be big losses through injury, however, and German World Cup trio Per Mertesacker, Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski are still unlikely to feature after their international exploits earlier this summer.
